Business Builder plan. LPT's newest published plan summary is dated January 2024, so confirm these with LPT. Many AXEN agents pass the $295 admin fee to their client at closing; if you do, your AXEN total drops to $6,600. LPT says its $195 fee can be charged to the client too, which would bring LPT to $5,500. On fees alone, LPT Realty costs less than AXEN here. What AXEN adds is a transaction coordinator on every file, which you pay for yourself at the others.

Where AXEN fits
No commission split. You keep 100% and pay a flat fee per closing.
Every AXEN fee, in fullFile fee, small sales, leases, admin, platform and rev share.
- File fee: $500 a closing on Pro, capped at $6,000 a year. $1,000 on Elite, capped at $12,000. After the cap it is $0 until your AXEN anniversary.
- Small sales: under $2,500 of commission, the file fee is 10% of it instead.
- Leases, rentals and referrals: 10% of the commission, never more than $500 on Pro or $1,000 on Elite, plus a $50 admin fee.
- $295 admin fee on every sale, even after the cap. Most of it pays your Deal Desk coordinator and state broker.
- Platform fee: $50 a month, $500 a year, or $600 taken from your first closing.
- Rev share: 5 levels, no quota to unlock one. Not a promise of income.
AXEN is not the cheapest on fees alone for every agent, and we say so in the math. These are costs, not an earnings claim.
